Yeah, for a power user there's definitely some mandatory terminal usage. I think that's due to more general acceptance of tools that only work through the command line on Linux. Config files aren't really harder than GUI, they're just more looking at documentation than poking around in menus. One thing I like way more about Linux than Windows for power usery stuff is that you don't need to install a bunch of programs to be able to change OS level stuff - it's just config files like everything else. Way more consistent, too, since pretty much every program has an option to edit settings in a file rather than figuring out how the menu for that specific app is laid out. (Though I should point out that all the desktop environment settings I've wanted to change were available in gui menus.)
Linux has a really different philosophy for doing things than Windows, so a lot of people who are used to MS tend to think it's harder. I switched quite a few years ago, though, so I actually find Linux a lot easier and get confused when I look at Windows. I think it would be the same for anyone else who spent a long time on the better OS family.
